Within 5 minutes I found the Say's Phoebe flycatching over the grassy area near the boardwalk. I watched it for several minutes and once it perched within 25 feet of me on one of the refuge signs. Unfortunately before I could snap a picture at this close view, an elderly couple out for their afternoon stroll walked right by my truck and directly towards the bird on the blacktop walkway, and the bird flushed farther away to a small Baldcypress tree. It was still there when I left at 3:15pm. Thanks to the McWhirters for reporting it and everyone else who has posted updates on this bird. Good birding, Mark Greene Trenton, TN
